if i spend $200 on a bike, can i get it down to 25lb? or even 20 lb? i can go used if i need to

if i try to reduce the weight of the bike, how should i go about it, i'm planning to get new tires, the ones that came with the bike were with treads and measure 26x1.95, the new ones will be 26 x 1.25 and smooth, is there anything else i can do?

TIA
